"That's her?" Li Huailin's imagination was completely different. This girl named Veronica was actually a sorcerer in a robe who looked a little boring. Li Huailin thought that the acting commander of the camp would at least be a lively warrior who was good at fighting.
"This is Lady Veronica." Then, he introduced Li Huailin to Veronica. "Sir, this is Adventurer Ruolin. His honor points can already be exchanged for a Level 7 military rank. He's here to receive his title today."
"Oh, I see." Veronica's voice sounded very calm. She seemed to be a calm person. "In that case, Adjutant Doehring, prepare the medal."
"Yes, sir." Doolittle nodded and immediately went to the room next door to retrieve his badge.
"Just in time." Li Huailin happened to have something to say, and Doehring just walked away. Li Huailin immediately said, "Sir, actually, I'm here for another matter."
"What is it? Go ahead, "Veronica said very calmly.
"In fact, I have something to talk to your father, Marquis Malindolf. I have a letter written by the fourth princess, Fantine, and I want to pass it to your father now." Li Huailin really did have that letter in his hand. It was a mission item. This thing appeared in Li Huailin's bag after he accepted the mission. It was another thing that could not be thrown away or traded.
"Her Royal Highness?" Veronica was a little stunned this time. Although Fantine was her brother's fiancée, her brother was now a diplomat in the Dwarf Empire. He still had two years left on his term, and could not come back for the marriage within two years. The princess did not seem to like this marriage very much. Although His Royal Highness had announced this marriage, and it would definitely be carried out, the princess had never met her brother, nor had they spoken much.
In Veronica's impression, the Fourth Princess was a princess who didn't like to go out and basically didn't communicate with anyone. She herself had only seen her from afar a few times and never talked to her. This was the first time she heard of the Fourth Princess writing a letter to someone.
"Is it urgent?" Veronica asked.
"It is indeed a very urgent matter." Li Huailin nodded. The princess had been replaced, so how could it not be urgent?
"… Actually, my father is seriously ill. He can't see you right now." She did not know that Li Huailin already knew about this matter. After all, it was hidden from the public.
"Is he unconscious?" Li Huailin asked.
"He can't get out of bed, but he's still conscious." "But now he needs to rest, and I'm worried that he's overworked. If it's not particularly important, I don't want to disturb him."
"It really is very, very important." Li Huailin spread his hands.
"Can you tell me first?" Veronica asked.
"Sure, if you want to hear it." Li Huailin nodded. "In fact, the Fourth Princess was attacked by an assassin just now … and then …"
So Li Huailin briefly repeated the process of the matter. Of course, it was a relatively simple one.
"What? There's such a thing? "Veronica said in surprise," Someone actually pretended to be a princess? "
"Although I haven't read this letter, it basically describes the situation." Li Huailin took out the mission item and said, "If you want to see it, you can take a look."
"I don't know the princess's handwriting, but my father should know it." Veronica thought about it and said, "This matter is indeed very important. Okay, you and I will go see my father."
"Sir, I'm back." At this time, Doolin had also returned with a small box, which should contain Li Huailin's badge.
"Oh, right." Veronica nodded. "Let's finish this first. Now, I, Veronica Malindolf, as the acting commander of Henasand Camp, grant you the military rank of Knight Lieutenant."
When Veronica said this, she seemed very solemn, but a little anxious could still be heard in her tone.
System Notification: You have been promoted to Level 7, Knight Lieutenant. Your Reputation in the main city has decreased by 7 points.
"Hey hey …" Li Huailin facepalmed.
Before Li Huailin had time to complain, Veronica handed over the box. "This is your badge."
"Oh?" Li Huailin opened the box and looked inside. Inside was a badge with a star and a parallel bar. There were also some emblems on it. The entire badge was made of silver with a copper edge. It looked very good.
Knight Lieutenant Badge: All attributes increased by 7%. Allows player to recruit private guards. Current number of guards: 0/21.
"Private guards?" Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, all players with a military rank of Level 5 and above can recruit private guards. However, you need to apply at the military district of Blessed City." Doolin also knew that this was the first time Li Huailin had obtained a military rank, so he explained, "Private guards can be exchanged for Reputation points."
"Eh? Reputation points? " Li Huailin was sweating profusely. He had just said that Reputation points were useless. Now that it was deducted, how could he still have any Reputation points left?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation "Adjutant Dolinte, you go ahead. I have something to discuss with the new First Lieutenant Knight," Veronica said anxiously, but her expression remained calm.
"Oh, yes, Sir." Doolin did not suspect anything. After all, it was normal to talk to a new Knight Lieutenant. "Then I'll be heading out first."
"Okay." Veronica nodded, and Dolinte left the room.
Seeing that Doolin had left, Veronica said to Li Huailin, "Come with me."
Shi Feng followed Veronica all the way into the castle and quickly reached the second floor. There weren't many rooms on the second floor, and they all looked more like bedrooms than workrooms. Of course, the two of them walked towards one of the larger rooms, which looked like the master bedroom.
Knock, knock. When Veronica reached the door, she did not open it. Instead, she knocked on the door and said, "Uncle Maccon, it's me."
Click. Very quickly, the door opened. Inside stood a middle-aged man in his fifties. Although he was dressed in casual clothes, he looked like a soldier. Although he was in the bedroom, he still wore a longsword at his waist, and his eyes were very fierce. He should be the kind of fierce warrior who often saw blood.
The male NPC named Maccon looked at Li Huailin behind Veronica and asked, "Who is it?"
"This is the adventurer from the main city, Ruolin. He has very important information to report to my father," Veronica explained.
Maccon nodded, then looked up and down at Li Huailin. Maybe it was the 20 points of Favorability that Li Huailin had accumulated in the camp, but in the end, Maccon still nodded. "He doesn't look like a bad person. Come in."
Veronica followed Veronica into the room. It was a more European bedroom. As soon as they entered the room, they could see a large bed in the middle of the room. There was no cover on the bed, and a middle-aged man was lying under the quilt. His eyes were closed, and it looked like he was sleeping. Li Huailin could see the man's name, Elvins Malindolf. There was also a square bracket under his name, which said that he was the Commander of the Empire's Second Legion.
"How is father's condition?" Veronica closed the door and asked in a low voice.
"Not optimistic. The Marshal has not been awake for 14 hours," Maccon said with a frown. "His condition is more serious than yesterday."
"That serious? What illness? "Li Huailin asked, looking at Marshal Malindolf on the bed.
Maccon didn't answer immediately. Instead, he changed the topic slightly. "The situation is as you can see. We don't know when the Marshal will wake up. So, what important information do you have?"
"Uncle Maccon is father's confidant, so it's fine," Veronica said. After all, this was a serious matter, and she was afraid that Li Huailin would be hesitant to explain it clearly.
"Actually …" Just as Li Huailin was about to speak, there was a sudden "hmm" sound from the bed on this side.
"Father!" Veronica immediately rushed to the bed, squatted down, and asked, "You're awake?"
"His condition is very bad …" Marshal Malindolf's voice sounded very weak. "I feel like I don't have any strength left …"
"Please rest well, father. He will get better soon," Veronica said with a trembling voice.
"I don't feel any better myself … This is …" Marshal Malindolf was just about to say something when he suddenly saw Li Huailin on the side.
"He was sent by Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess," Veronica briefly introduced.
"What happened to the Princess?" Marshal Malindolf's face immediately changed. "Her Highness usually doesn't contact me. Did something happen?"
Veronica nodded slightly. Although she couldn't bear to see her father worry about other things, the Princess's matter was indeed a national matter.
"What happened?" Marshal Malindolf immediately struggled to sit up, but he still couldn't get up after twisting a few times. Veronica, who was beside him, immediately handed Marshal Malindolf a pillow and lifted his body a little higher.
"In short, it's quite complicated," Li Huailin said as he handed over the letter Fantine wrote. Marshal Malindolf immediately took it, but he didn't even have the strength to tear the envelope open. Veronica immediately helped her father open the letter and handed it to Marshal Malindolf.
System Notification: A-rank Main Quest Reinforcement Requested completed. You are temporarily unable to obtain experience rewards. Please complete the Class Change Quest. You have lost 5 gold coins. You have lost 400 Reputation Points.
Li Huailin looked at his bag. Fortunately, all the remaining silver coins were deducted, but at least it didn't become negative. However, when he looked at his own Reputation Points, it was -130. Li Huailin really didn't expect that Reputation Points could be deducted to become negative.
"Alright, I guess I'm not fated to be a Private Guard in this life," Li Huailin said as he spread his hands.
